Because the 'Who is Chatting' tracker is very unreliable and will forget I'm in there constantly unless I'm refreshing every five minutes, and the chat doesn't give a notification when someone new logs in or let anyone in another tab know when someone just spoke, or any of the other things you'd expect a chat room can do. On the plus side, we can all see it after the fact when someone goes crazy in there and starts talking to themselves.

Probably we should just get a Discord or you people should come over to my general writing channel on IRC, but, effort.
